Another vote for Bodnant here. Lovely to visit, followed by a potter along the front & pier at Llandudno.

We had a week in Conwy just as most of the lockdown restrictions were being relaxed. Loved the place. Had a day trip to Bodnant and found the place fascinating. Nice cafe too.

Morning all. Another morning of IT support for someone coming up. I really would much rather be fitting the new reg/rec to the bike and getting on with the garden while the weather is good.

How's the day shaping up for everyone else?

Hooray! Spared the IT as the job I was to do doesn't need doing after all. A walk with Mabel and back to sort the bike then....

Diablo Rosso 4.

The bike came with Diablo Supercorsa's which were awesomely sticky, but too sticky. They picked up stones and threw them all over the bike. So I changed the rear to a Rosso 4 when it ran out. Now the front will match.

Morning all. Sunny and warm here today. I have a gardening job to do for someone this morning, so hopefully not too hot.

The weekend is almost upon us so what does everyone have lined up?

This does of course mean you'll need to get out and scrub the new tyre in!
